Irish Sheep Washer

I find that every time I ask Mike for his suggestions on an outfit title I get the strangest things. Like this one for instance. He said, "Today's outfit made me feel very Irish. How about Irish Sheep Washer?" Well, he actually said "sheep watcher" but I think my sinus infection is messing with my ears because I totally heard washer. Oh, but yeah, how about that?! Sick again! This weather is insane. One minute it's 62 degrees and breezy... perfect for bare arms and one pair of tights. Then you turn around and it's 16 degrees and the thought of leaving the cozy warmth of your home is intimidating. Of course I know some of you have it much worse... -40 and things of the sort, but I just wish the weather would make it up it's mind. Mainly because I get sick every time it changes. I've handled it well over the past 5 days but last night it really hit me. I took two Nyquil gelcaps at dinner and at 7pm I was out. I couldn't even wake up long enough to put on socks or cover myself up. I woke up to my mom taking my slippers off, putting on mentholated socks, and covering me up. Finally I drug myself from the couch back to my bedroom and I was out for 13.5 hours! I woke up at 8:30am this morning! I hate medicating myself because I hate how I feel under any kind of drug so I've stayed as far away from that Nyquil as possible today! I worked up the ability to get dressed and take outfit pictures today, but after returning home I put on my PJs, took a bath with a bath bomb Mike got me for Christmas, and then here I am.

The dress is a Staring at the Stars frock from Urban Outfitters. The headband is from Forever 21. The cardigan and tights are both from Target. The shoes are, too! Dolce Vita for Target to be exact. The belt was one I snagged at a little boutique in SoHo while living in NYC last summer. The skirt is one that flies up at any given moment so I might line it in the upcoming weeks. I won't have a long coat to cover it soon so I'll need to make other arrangements!

Today I worked on some blog designs for a bit, but I'm so fed up with my Adobe. I don't have much patience left in me so I hope I can make it through these! Hope this sickness goes away soon so I can be back to myself again! xo

Love the color of those tights! I totally agree about medicine. I was sick last week and I finally broke down and took nyquil a couple of nights. It fixed my cold, but I felt awful the mornings after taking it...like I was about to pass out or something. Hope you feel better soon!

This is such a cute look! I love those Dolce Vita's! I was lucky enough to get a pair (they are black and my mum calls them "witch shoes" because they have the pointy tip! :])Texas weather sounds just like yours. It's supposed to snow again tomorrow! Last week, I was out of school for three days just because of the snow and luckily, from mid-Saturday to Today, the weather has been beautiful! Stay warm!--Ciara :)

This outfit is absolutely adorable. And those shoes? They fit absolutely perfectly with the entire ensemble. You know, I may have to now check out what heels Target has. I, like you, normally hate heels (if I wear them I will tower over everyone since I am already 5'7''), but maybe its time to step outside my comfort zone, because dayum girl, cuuuuuuuuuuute.

Love Love LOVE the outfit! Seriously, I think it's one of the most gorgeous outfits you ever wore! (well, green is my absolutely favourite colour..) And I like that you combined the dress with a white cardigan. I just.. LOVE the outfit and want everything of that immediately..especially the shoes! Too bad that there is nothing like Forever 21 and Target over here.. Get well soon!

Boo...hate to hear that you're not feeling well. I get the exact same way when the weather drastically changes. Nyquil is my best friend when I get sick though. It always works! Hope you feel better though and your dress is lovely. Glad you were able to get out of bed. :)

Sorry you're not feeling well! Hopefully all the sleep will be restorative. I love the outfit, though. The greens are gorgeous with the red of your hair. Mike's right, it's Irish-y, but boys are so silly.
